Hi there, another journal entry from us 2!
We caught a seatran discovery ferry from Samui to Pha-ngan, luckilly it only took 30 mins as we were both feeling the effects of the previous nights drinks!
Pha-Ngan is where the full moon party is held monthly and 8-10,000 revelers flock to the southern beach of Haad Rin to dance the night away! We knew it would be busy so we booked our accomidation previously which was needed as most places were fully booked! Our bungalow was right on a secluded beach! We also had to share the bungalow with a few resident lizards!
The first night we headed to Haad Rin to survey the scene of the Full Moon Party, we had a quiet night with a nice meal (although we were sitting on the top floor and they did forget about us). We then lounged in the chillout area and watched Jackass.
Our first full day was spent lazing on the isolated beach, this was not too interesting as there was no one for Carly to nose at! This evening was the night of the full moon party. We had read plenty of bad press surrounding this party so Carly was quite apprehensive and as it turns out it wasn't that bad! Alot of drunkern people enjoying their party in their own unique way! We got pretty merry as you drink from buckets, we had the vodka, redbull and sprite combo, and it definately gets you going!
As we had the whole beach to ourselves the next day it was slightly boring so we had a long jump comp! (see photo's)
The following day we took a taxi to the north west of the island. We had researched an area called Haad Yao, it is rich with coral so great for snorkelling!
Our past few days have been spent head down in the water marvelling at the unbelievable underwater world. Carly struggled at 1st to master breathing and swimming at the same time but now she's an expert! We have seen beautiful live coral and millions of tropical fish that we both didn't realise existed outside aquariums! It really has been great! Wish we had an under water camera so you could experience the beauty aswell!
Carlys tan is coming on nicely aswell. We've had our first experience of the thai tummy which isn't too bad as we've been here almost 3 weeks now!
Love to all
Carly and Paul
P.s: Hope Kerry & Adam have a great 19th birthday!
